The "liberal media" - 'PBS censors Tina Fey's Sarah Palin joke.'

Journalists may be liberal, but the media is pro-corporate and pro-authoritarian. Most can't seem to get beyond the false left/right dichotomy to catch that, it seems to me, hence the ongoing ranting about "the liberal media."

Fey nails it in one, though.

PBS censors Tina Fey's Sarah Palin joke - Boing Boing:
"[Tina Fey] - 'And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women -- except, of course, those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape kit 'n' stuff. But for everybody else, it's a win-win.

Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years -- whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us.

Unless you believe in evolution. You know what? Actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster.'"
